Lin Wan Bai's eyes widened as he looked at Huo Chang Yuan who seemed to occupy the entirety of his vision.
He wore a black suit without a tie. Two buttons on the shirt's collar were undone. The suit was slightly messy, exposing bronze-coloured skin. There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.
From the looks of it, they had just finished their social meetup. However, the taste of the wine was not strong.
"Ho..." "Sir!"
Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva and almost blurted out. When he realized that something was amiss, he immediately changed his mind.
Huo Chang Yuan's pupils contracted slightly as he bit his lips and explained, "Aunt Li told her to stay in the hospital to take care of his daughter, so I came over to pick his up."
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai nodded in realization and turned his body to the side: "Then, please come in."
Huo Chang Yuan nodded his head and walked inside.
Lin Wan Bai sped up and took the initiative to lead him into the bedroom. After thinking about something, she looked at her watch and explained, "Dou Dou has already been asleep for a while."
After Huo Chang Yuan entered the bedroom, he indeed saw his son who was sleeping on the bed.
The blanket was tightly covered, only exposing a small head. His two short arms were also tucked inside, and it was unknown what sort of dreams he had had, but he was sleeping soundly, like a little cat unprepared for the world. His small mouth was slightly open, and when he leaned over, there was a light snoring sound.
He also noticed that there were traces of someone lying on the bed beside his son.
It could be seen that before he came over, someone was holding him to sleep.
When Huo Chang Yuan bent over to look at his son, Lin Wan Bai's gaze was also quietly resting on his face. Even though there wasn't much of an expression on his face, a gentle light was spread across his face, forming a fatherly appearance that he had never seen before.
No matter how many times they had compared, the contours of the father and son were really the same.
When he took it back, he couldn't help but pause on his face for a few more seconds.
There was an unrelenting search, as if he really wanted to see it clearly, but also as if he didn't want to admit it. He actually couldn't remember it …
Even though she knew that the way things were in the world was unpredictable and that life was often done in the wrong way, she never thought that things would turn out this way. Perhaps she had thought of seeing him again, but she never thought that he would forget her.
Suddenly, Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at her, "What flowers are growing on my face?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai stuttered in panic. Although she pretended to ignore him, because she had been caught peeping, she changed the topic, "Uh, do you want to wake him up?"
"Forget it." Huo Chang Yuan looked at his son again.
A slender finger gently touched his face, unwilling to wake him up, "Let him continue to sleep here."
"Then …" Lin Wan Bai bit her lips.
She had checked her watch just now and it was already midnight. The little bun was indeed sleeping soundly, and if she were to wake him up now, it would definitely be difficult to coax him to sleep. Furthermore, she had already taken off his clothes when she laid down.
After all, he was currently a stranger, so it was impossible for him to allow his son to spend the night alone outside …
Just as Lin Wan Bai was hesitating whether he should say if he should let the blanket cover them or not, Huo Chang Yuan suggested, "I'll make a phone call and let the hotel have a private room."
She nodded, no objections.
Huo Chang Yuan stood up and walked to the table across from him. He picked up the microphone and dialed the switchboard to indicate his requirements. He did not know what the other party had said.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wan Bai did not understand.
Huo Chang Yuan looked at her, "The front desk said that there are no more empty rooms."
Lin Wan Bai looked at the little bun who was sleeping soundly on the bed with a conflicted expression.
"I'll stay and sleep, too."
"..." "Huh?" Lin Wan Bai was shocked, she turned to look at him and stuttered uncontrollably, "You, you... You want to stay and sleep? "
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
"…" Lin Wan Bai was in a mess.
"I said I would stay to sleep, but I didn't say that I would sleep with you." Huo Chang Yuan put one hand in his pocket and slowly said, "Miss Lin, don't misunderstand, and don't be nervous. I think that this is a suite, there's even a sofa in the living room outside, I can just wait upstairs for a night, when Dou Dou wakes up tomorrow, I'll bring him along to leave. "
Could he blame her?
It was his own words that caused people to misunderstand …
Lin Wan Bai wanted to retort that he was not nervous, but it had only been a few seconds, and his palms were already sweating.
The living room of the suite was not large, and there was a long sofa. He could indeed sleep on it for a night, but since he was tall, he should not be very comfortable, but this was something that he wanted, it had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, she had paid for the room, so there was no reason for her to sleep on the sofa.
However, he didn't seem to ask for her opinion!
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, but made a sound, "Oh …"
"It's getting late, Miss Lin should rest early, I will be disturbing you tonight." When Huo Chang Yuan finished speaking, he was already walking out of the bedroom.
Lin Wan Bai nodded and watched him close the door.
Looking at the little bun who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, only then did she react.
Was he asking her to take his son to bed?
Why does it feel so weird...
After extinguishing the light again, Lin Wan Bai crawled back onto the bed with light steps. As if he had felt her body temperature, the little bun spontaneously snuggled into her embrace, his soft and white hands grabbing onto her clothes.
He was clearly in a tiring state before, but now he could no longer fall asleep no matter what.
Especially after being separated by only a single door, Huo Chang Yuan was already outside. Regardless of whether it was four years ago or four years later, he had too much of a feeling of existence.
Even if she closed her eyes, she could still feel the all-time presence of a male on him. Even though she had quietly locked the door, she was still nervous.
Just as he was half asleep, a loud noise came from outside.
Perhaps it was because the night was too quiet, so the sound was very clear.
Borrowing the moonlight, Lin Wan Bai looked at the little bun in her arms and frowned, but she did not wake up. She reached out to pat it, and very quickly, it was giving out a sweet snore.
Lin Wan Bai stood up and opened the door hesitantly.
She saw a tall figure hunched over the table. It was too dark to see what he was doing. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Huo Chang Yuan heard and turned to look at her, "Sorry to wake you up?"
Lin Wan Bai turned on the light and saw that the bottle of mineral water in his hand had been released. If his judgement was not wrong, the previous loud noise should have been made by it, as though he was reaching for the darkness to grab the water, and knocked over a few water bottles, causing some of them to roll on the ground.
"Are you sick?" she asked when she saw the bottle in his hand.
"Nope." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
"Then you …" Lin Wen was stunned.
Huo Chang Yuan took out a white pill from the bottle. "Just a sleeping pill."
